"This is our second stay at this ryokan and onsen. We booked a tatami room for 5 people and it was a comfortable stay, though a bit cramped. If you want a private onsen, get there early because they were all booked by the time we arrived for check-in at 3pm. We did manage to book the private onsen for early the next morning. The public onsens were also very relaxing and easy to use. The kaiseki meals were amazing and they gave us a private room for dining. It's about a 10 minute walk from the train station along wobbly roads so if you have luggage, it's not great. Unfortunately, we arrived around 1pm and the hotel luggage transportations were all closed and taxis were unavailable. Still a great experience and I'd stay here again if I went back to the lake."
